Issue with moving grouped objects in Captivate 8

Hi,
I use grouping of objects a lot and Imake extensive use of the arrow keys to move objects and / or groups around a slide. When moving groups in Captivate 8.1, however, and this never happened in CPT 6 or 7, Captivate does the action twice.
So when selecting the group of objects and pressing the arrow keys, it moves the groups 2 pixels at a time instead of just the one. Likewise, when pressing both Shoft and an arrow key, it moves the group 20 pixels.
To add to the fun, when you select both a group of objects and a single object on the slide, the arrow-move moves the group twice but the single object only once. Jolly good fun...
This is really annoying, so if anyone has a solution for this? Is this a bug or is it a setting I should be aware of? If it is not a bug but an actual new feature of Captivate, I would love to know the reasoning behind it, but for me, it rather defies any logic right now :-)
Obviously, I figured out the workaround of 5 times the arrow key to move a group 10 pixels, but it is now impossible to move the group 1 pixel using the arrow key.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jan.

It is a known bug, I have logged it already, please do the same. Earlier on this happened also for individual objects (prerelease), now this annoying behavior is only for groups.

Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8? These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc. We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS. SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly. So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf" This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....
Help?

Can't group objects in Captivate?

Why no option to "group" objects in Captivate? -- not only is this standard in vector graphics programs (Freehand, Illustrator, Flash, even in Word), it's necessary for efficient editing.

Hi there
You may group, but the grouping is temporary.
Note that Captivate is not a vector application. Instead it is a raster based applicaton. Perhaps that explains it?
If you really would like to see it emerge as a future option, please submit a Wish Form to ask for it.

Issues with Executing Javascript command in Captivate

Hi,
I am having issues with executing javascript for a button in adobe captivate 5. Let me explain what I am trying to do. I am working on a WBT that has three skill checks throught the course. These skill checks are not graded or tracked for completion. I currently have an image button that has the command "Open another project" The first image button is pointed to SkillCheck1 and I have the html file and swf file in the published root folder. This currently works fine.
However I want to use javascript to open a new window 800X600 with not toolbars at the top. I got this part working with the code below:
window.open('http://www.adobe.com','mywin',
'left=40,top=40,width=800,height=600,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
My only problem is, once the popup opens, my WBT goes to a page that says [object] and thats it. I am uploading two images to show what I have. Can someone help resolve my issue of the WBT going to

Ok so I took this link and viewed over it. I am new to Javascript and know very little about it. Therefore this script kind of makes no sense to me.
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
<a href="javascript:myOpen('page.htm','windowName','height=100,width=100')">text link</a>
I chose the option to exectute javascript. Does captivate need all of this including <script language=JavaScript"> Here is how I edited the script. Should I make any changes to what is in bold?
var windowHandle = '';
function myOpen(url,name,attributes) {
windowHandle = window.open(url,name,attributes);
<a href="javascript:myOpen('http://www.adobe.com','Adobe Website','height=600,width=800')">text link</a>

Safari 5.1.2 on Windows 7 has issues with hiding SWF objects in IFRAMEs

Try as I may I cannot hide a Flash object in an HTML page referenced as the source of an IFRAME tag despite being able to hide the IFRAME when using Safari 5.1.2 on a Windows 7 machine.
This is not a problem for the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac. This is not a problem for the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox on a Windows 7 machine.
Following is sample HTML and JavaScript for the page that includes the IFRAME tag:
<button id="tryit" type="button">Try It</button>
<div id="test">
     <iframe src="hideswf-iframe.html" width="770" height="610" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
     var test = document.getElementById("test"),
          tryit = document.getElementById("tryit");
     tryit.addEventListener( "click", hideAndSeek, false );
     function hideAndSeek(e) {
          var style = test.style;
          style.opacity = (style.opacity == 1 || style.opacity == "") ? 0 : 1;
</script>
And the following is the OBJECT tag for the SWF object that would exist in the page "hideswf-iframe.html" referenced as the source of the IFRAME tag in the above code block:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="strobemediaplayback" data="StrobeMediaPlayback.swf" width="743" height="600" style="visibility: visible; ">
     <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
     <param name="wmode" value="direct">
     <param name="flashvars" value="favorFlashOverHtml5Video=true&swf=StrobeMediaPlayback.swf&javascriptCallbackFunction=$.fn.strobemediaplayback.triggerHandler&minimumFlashPlayerVersion=10.0.0&expressInstallSwfUrl=expressInstall.swf&autoPlay=false&loop=false&controlBarMode=docked&poster=&src=http://players.edgesuite.net/videos/big_buck_bunny/bbb_448x252.mp4&useHTML5=false&width=1187&height=959&queryString=favorFlashOverHtml5Video=true&swf=StrobeMediaPlayback.swf&javascriptCallbackFunction=$.fn.strobemediaplayback.triggerHandler&minimumFlashPlayerVersion=10.0.0&expressInstallSwfUrl=expressInstall.swf&autoPlay=false&loop=false&controlBarMode=docked&poster=&src=http://players.edgesuite.net/videos/big_buck_bunny/bbb_448x252.mp4&useHTML5=false&width=1187&height=959">
</object>
The complex aspect is that this issue only manifests itself with some SWF objects, but not all. In the admittedly small sample of objects I tested I observed that the ones that failed were focused on video content (basically they were video players) while the ones that didn't exhibit the issues were not delivery mechanisms for video content.
I have already tried using JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and Scriptaculous - they didn't fare any better.

Actually it doesn't let me choose either of the buttons and before anything can happen the crash occurs. I tried to click on both buttons but it seems not to work. Thanks!

Material replication from R/3 to SRM - Issue with Material group

Hello All,
                  I am working on BADI PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2 and method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIALMaterial replication part from R/3 to SRM.
I am using a Ztable to map r/3 material group to SRM material group(Product category).
For example Material M1 with material group 100 is transferred to SRM. Material group(Product category) 100 exist in SRM, but I am changing the material group to 200 in the product_customer2 badi. its working fine.
In another scenario, Material with material M1 with material group 300. Material group(product category) 300 does not exist in SRM,
I am changing the material group to 200 in the bdoc, in the product_customer2 badi. It is not working. The LUW is failing in SMQ2 transaction with the error "Error in Mapping (Details: transaction SMW01)". The BDOC is failing with error "Category for material group 300 does not exist"
I tried to deactivate the badi PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2, even then the FM MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS is validating the material group from R/3.
I tried to change the material group 300 to the existing material group 200 at initial stage in debugging in function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS but still the bdoc is failing with error "No storage form defined for product type 01 / logical system".
I am doing my testing using the following steps.
1. change the material descriptioni in MM02 in R/3.
2. An item is displayed in the queue in SMQ2 in SRM.
3. I have debugged the LUW and analyzed my badi by setting breakpoint at method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL, its changing the material group in the bdoc properly.
   that didnt work.
   also i tried to change the material group in the function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS before the badi is called.
4. I am checking the BDOc status using tcode SMW01 and checking the material using tcode COMMPR01.
can someone tell me how I can change the R/3 material group to SRM material group at the time of mapping in SRM?
Thanks

Hi find below for the product cat
Steps to create the product category in SRM:
1) Create MM material groups in ECC client. This will create a transport. Go to SRM Tcode R3AS and select the object u201CDNL_CUST_PROD1u201D from the list and run it. You can monitor the job using R3AM1 in SRM. This will bring the material group into SRM. This can be seen in TCode u201CCOMM_HIERARCHYu201D in SRM.
2) Once it is done. Go to IMG in SRM and go to path SRM> SRM server> Cross app biz settings> Account aassigmnet> Define GL code for Acc *** Cat and Prod Cat. Maintain the GL code against this prod cat for all the account assignment codes. This is client specific setting and need to be done in every client by opening it. This GL code is given in the form in ticket.
3) Do a test and check if the product category is available for procurement in SC.

Satish

Issues with Library images updating in Captivate

Getting some update issues with the Library. This used to
work, but is now working only intermittently.
I will locate a background slide in the library, then hit
CTRL+U to open it in Photoshop. I'll make my edits in Photoshop,
then save and close the Window in Pshop. This used to bring me back
into Captivate, and I would see the correct image in the main
editing screen. However, now when I come back into Captivate, the
main editing screen will not show the edits, nor will the thumbnail
on the left side. If I pres CTRL+U to open the image back in
Photoshop, Photoshop shows the new edits, but not Captivate's
design mode. The images DO show up when I finally publish, but I
can't publish every time I need to check to see whether the edit
made it over. Also, if I select the image in the Library and click
the Update button, I get an "image cannot be updated" error
message.
What was a very nice feature is now causing mucho frustration
because it isn't working consistently.
Any thoughts? I've supposedly updated to patch 3.2, though
Captivate is only showing 3.0.1.589.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark
...but the thing that really bugs me is that this a workaround
for functionality that is supposed to work.
I agree completely. Unfortunately, last time I checked,
Captivate was software. And well, you know. Sometimes things don't
work expected with software so we find workarounds to overcome what
fails.
At this point the best course of action is to use the
workaround since the other method is failing. Then be certain to
report the issue to Adobe via their official preferred channel.
That is the Wish Form.

Issue with rescale and cropping in Captivate 5

I have an issue with cropping when rescaling. I have installed the December patch and am still having a problem.
1. I imported a PPT in 800x600.
2. I rescaled to 900x600, deselecting Maintain Aspect Ratio, and selecting to Keep project the same size and position the project Top Right. This leaves a white border 100 pixels along the left side of the project.
3. Saved the project.
4. Opened project and selected to rescale.
5. Deselected Maintain Aspect Ratio and changed the Width back to 800
6. Selected the Crop radio button.
7. Clicked Next.
8. Moved the crop area to the right to select the PPT and eliminate the white border on the left.
9. Click Apply to All Slides.
10. Click Finish.
The project rescales and is now 800x600, but it retains the white border on the left and distorts the slide image since it is now fitting in a 700x600 space. It seems to have ignored the Crop part of the task and just resized the image as is.
Has anyone else had this issue and know a workaround? I have submitted a bug but have not heard back and we have an immediate need to resize a project. Without a fix, we need to recreate the project in 800x600 to continue which will take a lot of time.

Hi,
bit off topic perhaps, but have a look at my blog post about Knockout master slide, where I gave some guidelines for rescaling projects

Issue with Service Group Configuration for a BPM Process

Hi,
I am working on BPM processes on CE 711. I need to use the Service Group settings. I created a BPM process with a automated activity that maps to an enterprise service in HU2 (SAP ES Workplace system).
After setting up the configuration in NWA for service registry and service group, I run the BPM process. The Enterprise Service runs into error and log records it as 'No matching BindingData is found for SOA smart configuration'. I have done most of the configuration as recommended but the matching end point
url seems to be picked wrongly [http://erp.esworkplace.sap.com/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap/ecc_employeebasicdbyemployeeqr?sap-client=800] .
I could not get any info on notes search and could not get much info about service group config. Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
i just got an answer on my ticket. Here it is:
There is a known issue with the upper case of the endpoint published in
the Services Registry and in the WSDL.
Before SP2 the matching for the binding for invocation is done
by the endpoint url. There is a known issue that the endpoint published
in the Services Registry is with lower case of the characters but in theWSDL the endpoint is with upper case. In your case the endpoint url in
the Services Registry is as shown in the exception above:
http://erp.esworkplace.sap.com/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap/ecc_srvcreqcrtrc?sap-client=800
but in the WSDL the endpoint url is with upper case of the endpoint:
../ECC_SRVCREQCRTRC/..
Because of this difference the call fails. This is fixed is 711 SP2.
Workaround for this is if you create a Provider System based on your
WSDL, not a Services Registry one.
Hope that helps...
Best regards
Michael

Issue with Citrix Business Objects full client

Hi ,
I have issue with my database pasword being expired. I ran a recovery and it works fine for me.
Since we are using the citirx installation the bomain.key is available on the citrix server which is copied across the user profile when they are login into citrix server via the logon script.
I still could not find whether the log on script is correct or not can any one of you let me know what I can use to copy the bomain.key using citrix usrlogon.cmd script.

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:

That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Issues with Mac Version of Adobe Captivate 6

I am having issues with Adobe Captivate 6 for Mac. I am missing functionality. Specifically the advanced actions dialog box. I get "null" value in all the fields in the dialog box. Also when I open captivate the welcome screen is blank. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but I am still having the same issues. Am I missing something on the install? Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Hi,
Did it worked fine previously? Can share some more information like your Mac version?
Can you share the screenshot of the problem screens?
Also, Try to follow these steps, to verify in case your Preferences have not gone corrupted--
1) Close Captivate
2) Launch Finder
3) Go -- Go to Location
4) ~/Library -- Go to Preference>Adobe> Adobe Captivate 6, Rename the Folder to 'Adobe Captivate 6_Old '
5) Relaunch Captivate and verify if thing improve.

Photoshop CS5 - Compatibility issue with nested groups

I'm using Photoshop CS5 to create a multi-layered, group-heavy PSD. The final file is intended for public consumption, so, ideally, I'd like it to be accessible to as many users - and therefore compatible with as many versions of Photoshop - as possible.
However, I just tried to save the file, and was prompted with this message:
This document contains nested layer groups that may change in apprearance if opened in applications older than Photoshop CS5.
Opening the file in CS4 after the save confirmed that a few of the layer groups were indeed corrupt.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

It looks like you're the only person so far who's posted that particular message on the web anywhere!
Out of curiosity, do you have the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility option set to Always in Edit - Preferences - File Handling?
I have no experience with nested groups, myself, but that setting comes to mind as being involved with the kind of compatibility you're hoping to accomplish.
I do know that nested group capabilities have been around since at least Photoshop CS2.

Issue with Delivery Grouping in Sales Order

Hello Gurus,
I have a problem in Sales Order (VA01 & VA02). The issue is as follows.
We have created a material called FREIGHT to calculate the Shipping & Handling cost in a Sales Order. This material has no ATP CHECK, so the Material Av. Date (MAD) is determined as immediate or the current date.
But the business process we want to implement is, the FREIGHT material should not be delivered separately, but should be grouped with one the line items in the sales order which has the earliest material available date and copy the corresponding dates to FREIGHT line item and delivery grouping should be done.
1. Say 1st line item is a BOM Material, next item is a standalone material (Non-BOM), and 3rd item is FREIGHT material.
POSNR   Matnr           Qty     DlvGrp DlvDt MAD LoadingDt
10     BOM (Parent)     1    1   x-date   09/11/2006    x-date
11     SKU1 (Child)     x        x-date   09/11/2006    x-date
12     SKU2 (Child)     x        x-date   09/11/2006    x-date
20     Non BOM    1     2        x-date   09/06/2006    x-date
30     FREIGHT      1      2        x-date   09/06/2006    x-date
I know the above example may not be that clear, but this is the space available when you post your topic.
Based on the above example, the earliest material available date is for Line item 20 i.e. 09/06/2006 and assume FREIGHT is also tied to the above line item (20) i.e. line item 20 & 30 are delivery grouped.
Say if I delete line item 20, now FREIGHT should be tied to line item 10 and delivery grouping should also take place get changed to 1 for FREIGHT item.
I need to achieve this using user-exits, but HOW?
Appreciate your views and the solution for the scenario.
Thanks.
Regards,
Suresh Ganti

Hi Suresh,
I guess you can accomplish this using SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in MV45AFZZ. In table xvbap you will find all order items with an update indicator. If an item has indicator 'D' (deleted) and field GRKOR (delivery group) filled you should find the corresponding FREIGHT line having the same value for GRKOR. Then find the remaining non-FREIGHT item with the earliest material availability date and set the value of GRKOR for this item to the same value as the FREIGHT item.
Regards,
John.

Variations issues with User & Group Site Column value

Hi all,
I have created variation sites. e.g. http://mydomain/en-us for english & http://mydomain/de-de for german language. I have created custom page layouts. This page layouts are based on custom content types. I have created a column called "User"
which is type of "User/Groups". I am registering this column to my page layout. http://mydomain/de-de is my default site.
Now I am editing column called "User" on page & save it. It saves data properly. But when I am propagating these changes to another site that is http://mydomain/en-us. It shows me all controls with values filled. but with "User"
column, its showing me blank value.
Any suggestion. ?
Thanks in advance.

Content types not propagated
Risk
When you add a content type to a page library in the variation source, this type is not automatically propagated to the other labels (see
my previous post). If you then create a page with that content type in the variation source, it does get published to the other labels but loses its content type field values.
Proposed solutions
Set up your site via a site definition that already contains the proper content type bindings to the page libraries. All labels will use the same content types
Put a good governance plan in place to make sure manual changes are done in every label
